Martian Manhunter

I’ve been meaning to do this guy for a while now, especially since I’ve published the other founding members of the Justice League but one thing stopped me – the male orc model. As with other Supers, I’ve created his body using a number of layers. I think he currently wins the record for most layers used. I was hoping to use Thrall’s updated model in WMV but since he’s listed as an NPC, I couldn’t change his armour so after playing around with a few of the poses, here’s what I’ve come up with.

Martian Manhunter, also known as J’onn J’onzz and John Jones, is a superhero from the planet Mars and the last surviving member of his race. A martian holocaust killed his wife and daughter, nearly driving him mad, until he was brought to Earth in an accident caused by scientist Saul Erdel. His natural abilities include super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, flight, shape-shifting, intangibility and telepathy.

Whatever I know about his character (and many others) I learnt from Smallville. Super episodes were always some of my favourites to watch. It’s a shame Batman and Wonder Woman didn’t make it into the series though.
